Does Google Drive API have an api to show the storage upgrade link?
I mean a link which can let user to buy more space.
Like Google One, https://one.google.com/plans
Thanks.
The google drive api is a file storage api. It gives you access to the data beind the google drive web application. It does not give you any control over the google drive web application itself.
Upgrade storage link is outside the scope for this api.

I required to use google drive API to save and get image from company google drive.
I'm following this guide to get the token and currently successfully get the image via postman.
Because I'm using ./auth/drive scope, it required me to verify my application.
But I'll only use create and view api to access single google account. I'm not sure if I'm doing the things correctly.
It is possible to setup similar thing for one personal google account only so that it doesn't required to get the approval?
Currently, we have a mobile App that is storing data into a Google Drive folder using the scope
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file
View and manage Google Drive files and folders that you have opened or created with this app
Now we are planning to add a web app as well. The problem is, that the web app cannot access files uploaded by the mobile app and vice versa.
So is there a way to tell the Google Drive API that those two apps (web app and the mobile app) are in fact the 'same' application?
I want to avoid using the scope for full access to the user's Google Drive.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
Or is there another way that both apps can read/write the same folder?
Thanks in advance.
I also took a look at the Google Picker API but it does not seem to be what I want.
Posting this for documentation purposes.
As mentioned in comments, both apps should be part of the same Google Cloud Platform project, that's the only way to "tell" the API that they are the same application.
If they are not part of the same project, you should use the drive scope instead.
i need to know how to open google drive files in google apps(like actual google drive file open) with API.Please give me an idea to implement this.
To integrate your application in Google Drive, first you need to enable the Drive API and provide configuration details in your API project and this part of documentation will explain you with that.
Then the Drive UI Integration part will contains fields to enter information describing your application. The Application Name and Short Description fields are displayed to users in the Manage apps dialog in the Drive UI
Go to Drive API, then after you enable, you can see the Drive UI Integration tab.
For the Opening of files, this link will help you on that. There is also a sample code here that will serve as a guide on you.
I'm using Google Maps API in my application. I want to use Google Drive too. Do I need to create a new key and project in google developer console, or just enable Google Drive?
Just enabling Google Drive would be fine.
According to the console help docs:
a project is a collection of settings, credentials, and metadata about the application or applications you're working on that make use of Google Developer APIs and Google Cloud resources.
So in other words, one project == one app.

Hope this help!
I was trying to upload files to google drive from a Desktop Application, but i couldnt find how to do it with Google Drive API since that is based for google browser apps. For this matter should i use Google Drive API or Documments API?
You can use both Drive API or Documents List API to achieve, but the Drive API has the additional requirement that Apps need to be installed (for now) from the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, if you authorize the user with OAuth 2.0, you can use the Drive API in a desktop app.
